Me again, I am having a issue when trying to measure a distance. I have one side of this part locked to a zero in my coordinate system (same as print) and I would like to measure a distance which is basically from the zero plane on one side to the location where a radius meets a plane on the other side. The plane is going off at an angle and the location meets a cylinder feature. The one side is a plane and is locked to my coordinate system in Z so I don't have to worry about that side but I have not been able to find a method that will allow this extraction. Does anyone out there have any idea how to solve this problem? This would seem to be a common measurement and would be surprised if I can construct a vector here. Here is a pic of the model in Polyworks 2014:

I had to created vectors from the planes then create points where the vectors intersect the cylinder. It would be nice just to create a line where a plane hits a cylinder (like a slice of pie).
**UPDATE
I sent this over to Polyworks and have been working with them. I got the following respone:
Hi Chris,
Looks like what you've done there is the best option for now. I have put in your feature request. I hope Polyworks gets it because that is a bit of a chore.
Looks like well be waiting for a another new feature hope we get this one soon
Nice workaround!
